The fool looks at a finger that points at the sky
I am listening to the Amelie soundtrack at the moment, and there is no way I'm not watching it when Josh gets here.
So! September! Too cold to busk! I had an awful and depressing time looking for a job, but am now decently employed full-time at a bakery in the Byward Market. Every morning I hope to find better employment, but by the end of my shift I am pretty confident that I can do this job for a year(ish) and not lose my mind. I work the counter, fetching pastries, slicing bread, ringing up the till, making espresso, cleaning up, etc. I get lots of opportunities to practice and learn more french, though for some reason everyone speaks spanish. I also get to walk through Centretown, down Sparks, past the War Memorial and the Chateau Laurier every day. Sometimes I stop on the way home to sit and read in the red Adirondack chairs near the NAC/Congress Centre/War Memorial and read. I love this city.
I might be apartment hunting again soon. I'm still itchy and want a clean slate.
Oh! And this weekend is Oktoberfest! Because I'm volunteering tomorrow I get in for free for the rest of the weekend! I was originally planning on camping there, but that might be a bit much. This year I will definitely remember mittens though.
There. September.
